La Selva Market, 2020 Located in Spain on Sevilla’s historic river promenade lies the La Sleva Market. 895 Bamboo trees represent the 895 Acres deforested every 5 minutes worldwide. The market will provide a new biome for Sevilla while fracturing the current hardscape plaguing the existing landscape. Market stalls are connected with the city through UAV drones, able to span a 5 mile perimeter encomposing all of downtown. La Selva is a natural oasis for the inhabitors of Sevilla to escape from everyday life in the city. When designing this project, I was heavily inspired by the Piney Woods of East Texas. My fondest memories as a child took place while exploring, and I wanted to do my best job of emulating that feeling. The forest biome is foreign to most of Spain, making this the first of its kind.

TTUEP Dorms, 2019 Located 5 minutes from bordering Mexico, the program must accommodate for citizens of both El Paso and Juarez. The structure aims for an unbiased and equal take on living spaces while still providing necessary accomodations for students. Included in the program are Living Quarters for 40 Students, Studio Space, Gallery Space, a Gym, and a Chic-fil-a express. This building has a heavy focus on unprogrammed, versatile spaces with gardens in both the front and back, as on the second story roof. The 2 rectilinear forms heavily contrast the round and exposed elevator structure.

Columbus Primary Care, 2020 Columbus Primary Care is a Clinic Located in Columbus, Indiana; A mecca for Modernist Architecture. Our site was a heavily wooded and unkept plot next to a small creek. The intial concepts were to maintain all softscapes as well as a highly pronounced steel column structure. Planning for the future was a large concern with the ongoing pandemic. The clinic was designed with covid protocol in mind, while still maintaining a minimalist beauty. The infrastructure created allows for highly dynamic spaces, and a strong connection with nature, blurring the lines between interior and exterior space.
